The Hanged Man features one of the most fascinating and poetic images of the whole tarot card deck: a man hanging upside down from a tao cross (sometimes a tree or bar) by one foot, his hands bound or tucked behind his back. He is suspended in mid air, his free leg forming the number 4 with his other leg.

Unexpectedly, he is not struggling to escape and instead has a look of complete satisfaction on his face. What is the story behind this strangely calm hanged man?

Even though I could remember talking to the Holy Spirit as a kid, when I was an adult and thought about talking to God, what came to my mind was: "Who are you to think that you can talk to God?" But the truth is, who am I not to? Who are YOU not to? When we think, "Who am I to talk to God?" we deny ourselves a relationship with God and the Holy Spirit.

The booming lime trade of the 1820's on Maine's midcoast led to the construction of a lighthouse on Owls Head, an area located at the entrance to Rockland Harbor, Maine. In 1825, President John Quincy Adams authorized the building of a lighthouse on a promontory south of Rockland Harbor in Penobscot Bay.

The 7-branch menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. It is found mostly in temples and synagogues, often up front as an item by itself, and also as a design in stained glass windows, ceilings & wall murals, paintings, sculptures, and more. Interestingly, increasingly some churches also have seven branch menorahs in their sanctuaries to remind them of the menorah that once stood in the Temple in Jerusalem. Although, this should not be such a surprise bearing in mind...

The book and the cd are making a great impact on people in network marketing, other people and the television talk shows.

But believe me it is nothing new, in fact very old and just re-written and re-written well and the video is great,it just goes to show you what you can do with imagination.

One of the inherited doctrines of mankind is that the Quran is quoted or borrowed from the Bible.

The Bible categorizes the Bat among the "BIRDS". Zoologists say that Bat is an animal (mammals). The Bible talks about flying birds that walk on all fours.

Such creatures have not been present yet.

This illustrates the contradictions between the Bible and Sciences.

In next article about the Rabbit, you will find out how the Quran talks...

For the last few centuries, the scientists, ever since they have found their voice, have tried to punish the church of God, down to its tenth generation. As if they were God.

Perhaps, instead of searching for what the meaning of life is supposed to be, we should be...

The donkey is mentioned in the Bible 142 times and in the Quran four times, i.e., the Bible cites the donkey 35 times more than the Quran does.

Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473.

In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 35 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the donkey.

Usui Mikao is quoted saying in the Reiki Ryôhô Hikkei that the mind and body are one. Recent studies in the world of science are beginning to finally comprehend that statement. Brainwaves and body pulses and their role in stimulating healing can all be measured today allowing the concept of Reiki, as spiritual energy, to be more widely understood by the medical community. The growth of the system of Reiki is benefited by this community awareness and acceptance.
